My 89 is in my garage with a flat. It has the locking lugs on it but I don't have the key. How do I break off the lug myself? I went to Les Schwab and they said that they'd do it but wouldn't tell me how to do it myself.
Get a deepwell socket, 1\2" drive, that is just a bit too small to slip over the outside diameter of the locking lug. With a hammer, pound it a couple of times, usually only a 1\4" of "bite" so to speak is needed, attatch a 1\2" breaker bar, & turn off. I do it all the time at the junkyards & for friends.....
